Fuel pump aftermarket part numbers

[rhsprostar]

You know, I may have used a zip tie....
Can't remember......i think it was the clamp because i used the fuel line.

The fuel pump on our '03 X-7 died last weekend. The module is on backorder everywhere.

The pump part reads 323 2F18A, which I haven't seen elsewhere in this thread...the replacement matrix pdf earlier in this thread is a dead link. Any suggestions about where to look for a replacement?

Any help appreciated. Thanks.

The module is a MasterCraft-only part. This thread, the Delco EP356 or the Airtex E3044 is about replacing only the pump itself in that module. It appears to be a viable option if you want to do it yourself. MasterCraft dealers won't, apparently.

You should be good with the replacements listed for the pump. This involves taking the module apart and just replacing the pump. Check out this thread

Stu has some good pics up. He is in the middle of doing his pump tonight!

Sorry that I didn't make that clear in my post...I understood that, and just wanted to check to see if the EP356 was the right one for my particular pump. The part number for my Carter pump was one I hadn't seen listed elsewhere. Thanks.

Thanks for the great info--- just bought an '07 xstar and it ran great for about 10 hours before the fuel pump died........ called the local MC dealer.. to get the part.. $600+ only to drive 45 min through traffic to find out they didnt have the correct part for my boat after all and the correct one was back ordered...

Net is I read this post, went by Advanced Auto parts this AM, picked up the e2044($85.00), a 3/16" socket/allen thing ($2.49), and $3 for a fuel line remover tool, back to the dealer for the $16 gasket..( not sure I really needed it, the old one looked good, but what the hell....) and an hour and 15 min later I was back on the water...

Boofer's picks were great to explain the removing process...not too difficult and much easier with his step by step..

Thanks RHSprostar for the detail on the replacement pump..

you really have to ask yourself .... $600+ to buy the same subpar set up?

BTW I have a 1997 Maristar 225 VRS sitting in the slip right next to the d*** 07 xstar... and that maristar hasn't had a problem in 10 years....

[rhsprostar]

No problem, glad you got it taken care of.

So I have followed this thread. I have a '06 197 whose pump has now failed twice in the last year. Which model pump do I have to get, the label on my old was the 71-341s Carter/ federal mogul.

Do I get the
E2044
or the
e2065?

Thanks,

[rhsprostar]

That was the same number i had on my pump. I went with the e2065 but you could do either. Which motor?

[sheahunter]

The red one.

Hey Guys, need some help. 2002 197 LQ9. Pump went out. I really didnt see any mention of which auto pump could replace this. My existing module says - 71-332S. I was told I need to order mastercraft part 155192. Did some homework and was told by a cool dealer that an auto may work, but it needed to be 8.5", 60 PSI with return. I leave for a lake trip friday and hope not to have to order a new mastercraft pump......

155192 is the whole module, and is MasterCraft-specific. There is no automobile equivalent.

These several fuel pump threads are about pulling the module and just replacing the pump IN the module. The MasterCraft module would be about $450-$500 IF you can find a dealer that has one in stock. Word is, they're backordered from the factory. The pumps like the E2044 or EP356 are about $90. Not a MasterCraft-sanctioned replacement. Probably BETTER than the OEM Carter pump that comes in the replacement module you'd buy.

Do a search on the various fuel pump threads by Boofer. Excellent descriptions and photos.

Thanks bigmac, will look at those. Do you happen to know if those pumps meet the 8.5", 60 PSI with return?

The concept of a return line is related to the module, not the pump. The excess fuel from the rail is dumped back into the tank via an extra line. On the current pump modules, the return takes place right at the regulator, which is located on the top of the tank, so there is no extra line. In either case, the pump itself is the same.

Likewise, the "8.5 inches" relates to the module, probably the diameter. The dealer you talked to assumed you were going to replace the whole module rather than just the pump in the module. Since you would be re-using the module after putting a new pump in it, the diameter of the module and the presence/absence of a return line are irrelevant.

I'd never thought of replacing the whole module. I suppose it's feasible, but the 14 mounting holes would all have to line up, the height would have to be the same, there would have to be a filter before the pump, and the weatherpack electrical connection would have to match. Anyway, it would be an unnecessary effort and expense. Far easier to just replace the failed component, the pump.

Yes, all of the pumps mentioned here (EP356, E2044, E2065) provide sufficient fuel pressure and meet that 60 PSI spec.

I did my 04 LQ9 with the e2065, rated at 45gph and 90-95 psi. I don't see why an 02 would be any different.
